The latest school shooting led some pro-gun politicians to speak out against the AR-15. "I have hunted all my life," Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said on the Senate floor Thursday. "But an AR-15 is not for hunting. It's for killing."
1) Bill Nelson is NOT a "pro-gun politician".
2) The purpose of the Second Amendment is not limited to, or even primarily about, hunting. It's main purpose is to insure that the people have a contemporary means to exercise the right of self-defense and to serve as a deterrent to tyranny. |

He loses all credibility when he starts talking about hunting without killing something and says the AR15 is "massively powerful". From there it all goes downhill. |

TO REMEMBER |
To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
